Book Reviews of Naruto, Vol. 1: The Tests of the Ninja
Book Review: NAROUTO ROCKS SHONEN 5 Stars
I am the biggest fan of naruto!!!! i would also like to argue the statement that NICK gave,about the "dopple ganger" thing. Nick have you ever played Chrono Cross. If so, then you would know that dopple ganger means "the abilty to copy or change into another object." (at least from what i understand).Therefore it is not a grammer error or mistraslation (from what i belive) that the move "kage bushin no jutsu" means the same as doppel ganger. i may be mistaken but after all, if it wrent translated then i would still be in japanese (is that where it comes from) anyway BUY EVERY NARUTO COMIC YOU CAN GET!!! ALSO look at onepiece and shaman king

Book Review: Naruto
Summary: 5 Stars
Naruto is one of my favorite manga series. It is full of character-development, humor, and action. In Japan, they are nearly up to chapter 285, so if you're just starting this brilliant series, you have quite a long way to go. (Some spoilers ahead)
The story follows a young boy (Naruto) in his quest to become the Hokage of Konoha Village (Hidden Leaf Village). The Hokage is the leader and presently unsurpassable shinobi (ninja) of the village. In following Naruto, we learn a dark secret that was unknown even to him. Years ago, when Naruto was first born, a demon (the Kyuubi) was sealed inside of him by the 4th Hokage to save the village. This made Naruto one of the Jinchuuriki. Ultimately, this led Naruto to be ostracized and neglected. He has never had a true friend. The closest thing to a parent he has is Iruka, his sensei.
After Naruto becomes a Genin (the lowest rank of shinobi), many interesting things happen. We are introduced to three new characters (who become incredibly important as the series progresses): Sakura (a girl from Naruto's class, she's very bright), Sasuke (another student who is supposedly the only surviving member of the Uchiha Clan), and Kakashi (the sensei of the three students). These four main characters are given depth and purpose as we learn about their past and intentions. Though it is a long wait until everything about them is revealed (Sakura is actually somewhat shallow for about 40 chapters), it is worth it.
Once all of these characters are introduced, the plot takes a turn and the three are given their first "real" mission. It has a depressing conclusion and they return back to the village with a much better understanding as to what it truly means to be a shinobi.
Now things get a bit hectic.
Perhaps describing what ensues as "all-out war" is not appropriate, but in some ways it is. During the three student's participation in the Chunnin Exam (a test which allows one to increase their shinobi rank), we are introduced to Orochimaru, a genius with malicious intentions. Jounin clash as the Exam is ended due to erratic circumstances. Devious antagonists make their move and we at last see just how thin the bonds and trust must be between villages to ensure the citizens survival. The Hokage is captured and an awe-inspiring battle takes place between sensei and student.
I am getting ahead of myself. What should be understood when starting the series is this: it is a masterpiece. A carefully woven story unfolds as years of planning pass. Akatsuki make their move and brilliant battles occur. The plot opens up and what started as a simple story following an orphan trying to prove himself to others becomes a carefully constructed conspiracy involving immortality and power.
The first volume is a great introduction. The artwork has not yet fully matured, but it is still very good. The plot is very basic at first but will evolve into something more complex. Buy this and become immersed as you follow a boy who wishes to be acknowledged, an avenger with wavering trust, a love-sick girl with an intellect, and one of the coolest jounin you will ever encounter.
Naruto is a masterpiece. Do not miss out on this classic series.
